Bishop Gene Robinson visited Jon Stewart to discuss his new book God Believes in Love. Robinson says lots of people -- including Fundie youth -- recognize our love and are looking for a way forward. He wrote the book as a Biblical support of gay marriage.
And Stewart takes a look at the Supremes accepting the two gay marriage cases. Along the way he touches on the vile stuff that Scalia said recently.
Speaking of Scalia and his nasty statement…
A New York Times editorial said:
[Princeton student Duncan] Hosie [who had asked Scalia the question] wondered why Scalia couldn't make his points without offensive implications about gays and the lives they live. But what if those slurs were the point? That's a depressing possibility to contemplate as Scalia and his colleagues prepare to rule on cases involving same-sex marriage.
But progressive court watchers aren't perturbed by Scalia's antics. His vote isn't in play anyway. The ones to watch are Kennedy and Roberts. Lawyers on both sides of the case will be tailoring their arguments towards these two men.
If you have time, here is a series of 35 cartoons on gay marriage. My favorite is #7. The ones at the end of the list appear to be from when New York approved gay marriage more than a year ago.
Scientists have a new hypothesis on why some people are gay. It has something to do with "epi-marks" that influence how genes do their work. These thingies are not supposed to be inherited, but in the case of gay people they are. I'll let you go read the original if you want to know more. Though Timothy Kincaid is going to stick to his hypothesis of Gerber Strained Peas. Go ahead, prove him wrong.
